Apps to help edit and share your pictures while you're on the go
If you're toting an iPhone around in your pocket, chances are you've pulled the phone out more than once to snap a photograph. The camera app that comes preinstalled on your iPhone works for snapping casual shots you want to send as a text message or email to friends, but what if you want to do a little more with your pictures? There are literally hundreds of different photo apps available for the iPhone. Here are our top 6 photo apps for the iPhone.
1. Instagram Instagram is both a photo editing program and a social network of sorts for your photos. The app lets you take photos or load an existing photo out of your photo album, and then apply a filter to the picture to give it a different look. Pictures that you edit can then be shared with friends on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, or Tumblr and can also be uploaded to your Instagram profile where other Instagram users can check them out.
2. Hipstamatic Rather than add filters to your photos after the fact, Hipstamatic changes how you take those pictures in the first place. The app attempts to replicate “the look, feel, unpredictable beauty, and fun of plastic toy cameras from the past,” by essentially turning your iPhone into one of those cameras. The app has a number of built-in lenses and flash options you can virtually swap out to customize the pictures that you take. The screen on your iPhone looks like the back of a camera when you’re framing your shots, and photos take a few seconds to “develop” rather than show up on your screen immediately.
3. ColorSplash ColorSplash is a Photoshop-esque app that lets you adjust the colors in photos stored on your iPhone. ColorSplash removes the color from your photos and then lets you paint color back in on specific portions of the photo using your finger. For instance you might make a photo of your child playing in the yard back and white, and then go back and make just your child color in the photo. The app has four different “brushes” to choose from, and allows you to zoom in on portions of pictures to accurately highlight details.
4. Photosynth Photosyth is an app created by Microsoft that allows you to take 360-degree panoramic pictures with your iPhone. The app guides you through taking a number of photographs of a location, and then stitches those photos together to create a panoramic view of the space.
5. Snapbucket Snapbucket is a photo app created by the photo sharing site Photobucket. The app has a number of built-in filters such as 70s, sunrise, and and antique that can be applied to pictures to give them a different look. The app also has several frame and vignette options for you to customize your finished image, and offers a way to instantly share that image on Twitter and Facebook as well as on Photobucket.
6. CatPaint Every picture shared on the internet could probably use a few more cats in it. CatPaint is an app that lets you add additional felines to any photo. The app comes with a number of built-in cat options. Cats can be adjusted in size and location on the screen, and can shoot lasers out of their eyes for added dramatic effect.
